GOYA. THE PORTRAITS

Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (17461828) was one of the greatest portraitists of his time. The first large-scale book devoted to th e topic, this handsome volume features portraits that shed light on Goya and his subjects, as well as on the politically turbulent a nd culturally dynamic era in which they lived. Whether portraying royalty, philosophers, military men, or friends, these works are m emorable both for the insight they provide into the relationship between artist and sitter, and for their penetrating psychological depth.
